12:00 will have missed the deadline for the freesheets, which is always a shame, but it's FP on the Standard, and the newsagent at Vauxhall station seemed to be enthusiastically plastering his shop with the headline.

The BBC interview at City Hall mysteriously cut out when the reporter started to explain his odd statement about 'political expediency'. I think this is going to be an interesting story when it really gets going.

Although the Clement story was the lead on the West End Final, it does seem as though the Standard brought out another edition afterwards leading with some story about Lily Allen's mate. Interestingly at Waterloo at about 8, the Boris headline was nowhere to be seen on any front pages, and on very few headline boards. Can't help but wonder if someone at City Hall had words...

Also a shame to see that my comments on the online article never made it through (mainly pointing out the irony over the Lee Jasper allegations).
